On 5/28/08/08 “The Opus”,
“The Secret” Sequel had its
opening. It was my pleasure to attend the world premiere of “The Opus” in
Scottsdale AZ and get an inspirational jolt.
Along with the premiere viewing, some of the stars spoke about their
personal experiences in creating their personal Opus. As
Peggy O’Neil puts it “The Opus is
a composer’s greatest work. The Opus is about us becoming the most
amazing magnificent extraordinary human beings that we were meant to
be”. Each speaker delivered a message that it is possible to live your
Opus, as they demonstrated by their personal stories illustrating what
extraordinary human beings they have become.

In the tradition of “The Secret”, using the law of
attraction to create opportunities to experience more of the
life you want to live is still the message behind each
speaker’s insight. They take it to the next level by
introducing the importance of being in touch with your
passion, and acting on it.
Being
psychic reader assisting those on their
spiritual journey,
in the field of
personal development and coaching people on
sharpening their
life skills for over 25 years I know that it is
the “acting on it” part that loses most people. When you are
clear on what you desire, and take those first steps toward
it, you are your most vulnerable to disappointment. Moving
beyond disappointment and handling challenges is a key part
of realizing your Opus.
One of the main points made by this set of inspirational
leaders, like Jack Canfield, is making a plan, acting on it,
and when you meet with challenges, be flexible. Being
flexible and learning to adjust and change your attitude
allows you to move beyond your limitations, and bottom line
it is the belief in your limitations that have attracted in
the challenge. Change what you believe and you change the
outcome.

Peggy O’Neil is a “Small Person” (measuring 3 feet 8
inches) with a big presence. She delivered one of the best
talks that night, closing with her open invitation for you
to call out “yo Peggy” (her website domain name) if you see
her out and about. Growing up discovering the difficulties
of staying small, she succumbed to “giving up” until a good
friend inspired her with an opportunity and told her to
“accentuate her uniqueness”. She took it to heart, and it
became a life changing moment that started her journey of
moving beyond her limitations and living her Opus.
I bumped into Peggy in the Women’s bathroom on a break in
between speakers. For a small person this
psychic reader could see her huge aura a mile away
(another example of “size doesn’t matter”).
I may be from NY, but it isn’t my nature to be yelling out
loud in a public bathroom, but I couldn’t resist the
synchronistic encounter and let out a “yo Peggy”. She froze
mid small stride, looked at me, and just beamed with a huge
smile that lit her aura up.
I complimented her on her talk and expressed my admiration
over her triumphs as I watched her approach the sink to wash
her hands. But her hands couldn’t reach. Such a thing we
take for granted. How many other simple things for you and I
are challenging for her, being small in a big world?
She thanked me for the compliments and said how much she
loves speaking and how it is part of living her Opus. She
joked about having to always be creative as she looked
around to see how she could manage leaving the restroom with
clean hands. I awkwardly offered to help her but it seemed
such a strange thing to do, given her confident demeanor.
She reached for a tissue and crumpled it a bit, held it with
the tips of her fingers and reached to trigger the motion
sensor of the faucet. It worked perfectly and she was good
to go.
How funny it was to me that the underlying theme of the
event was overcoming limitations by being flexible, and
Peggy had just given me a front row seat to living her Opus.

If you like “The Secret” you will like “The Opus”. It
follows a similar flow and structure and weaves the story of
violinist and his journey to fulfilling his Opus. There are
lots of inspirational stories, facts and concepts that will
get your wheels turning. “The Opus” is a great compliment to
“The Secret” although some how it doesn’t quite pack the
same punch. Don’t skip it thinking you have seen and heard
it all before. The fresh angle on age old spiritual
philosophies is invigorating and well worth it.
You can get your own copy of “The
Opus” now on DVD and start to explore your personal
pursuit of your own Opus. For those of you who have watched
“The Secret” over and over again to keep you inspired, you
will like adding this to your repertoire.
